Nayara Springs

There is so much about this Resort that will hold such a special place in our heart. I don’t even know where to start or stop. Every single person we encountered at the resort was so genuine and always smiling. We encountered so many amazing staff members, those names are what I will focus on. We couldn’t have gotten a more exceptional personal host, Luis Vasquez. He went above and beyond for us since the moment we met him until we left. The Manager at Ayla named Claudia also treated us with exceptional hospitality. The staff at Ayla; Robin (Server), Mario josue (Musician), Pabitra (Chef). The staff at Mis amores; Raquel and Maria (Servers), Henry and Brenton (Bartenders), Jean Carlos and Jonathon (Managers). Jose bartender at Henry’s. Karina (General Manager) and Steven (Manager) at Nayara Springs went out of their way to help with our wedding day! Berny and Tatiana at Nayara Springs front desk. Brayner from Bésame Mucho/Mis Amores. We had multiple interactions with Axel on the golf cart and he was so kind to us. Thank you to everyone who made this trip one we will never forget. We hope to come back to visit. Pura Vida ❤️

My partner and I stayed at Nayara Springs for the last leg of our Costa Rica honeymoon. Tatiana greeted us on arrival and looked after us throughout our entire stay. The staff was incredibly warm and professional. Everyone seemed genuinely happy, and that absolutely rubs off on you. We sprung for the flowers and petals package. When we walked into our room we were in awe for several minutes. The room itself was magnificent with a beautiful blend of modern and classical styles, but the sheer amount of effort they put into that flower package really blew our minds. From the moment we walked in it was evident that this room was masterfully designed to waste as little time as possible and maximize enjoyment. There are literally two showerheads with independent controls in the same shower, plus two more outside if you want to hit that vibe, which we totally did and loved. When else are you gonna get this opportunity? Every detail was designed for maximum efficiency and zero downtime. The private spring at the room was epic. We cannot say enough how incredible that experience was every single day. One point we laid down on the daybed they have outside after being in the springs and we both felt like we didn’t have bodies for about 30 minutes. We were completely relaxed, at peace, floating in space and existence. We will be craving that feeling until we find it again. The whole thing felt like a movie in all the right ways. The laundry service is incredible. You absolutely must use it. The amount of effort and time this single perk saved us is actually hard to calculate. There’s nothing like coming back to your place after a day of hiking and all of the laundry from your entire trip is perfectly washed and folded in a bag waiting for you. The food was fantastic. The complimentary breakfast was amazing and just what we needed. The breads in the bread basket and the fruits were absolutely perfect, some of the freshest food we’ve ever had. You really can’t beat seeing the volcano from that corner of Mis Amores. Breakfast was one of the few times we saw it without cloud coverage. How’s that for magical? All the other restaurants are incredible too. We did their 10-course fine dining experience at Amor Loco and it totally blew our minds. It was probably the most romantic thing we’ve ever done, from the service to the live music. Perfection. We loved going to the coffee shop in the mornings while waiting for shuttles to various excursions. The staff there was just incredibly pleasant and warm. We spent almost an entire day just exploring the grounds. The landscaping is like nothing we’ve ever seen. Normally you wouldn’t mention that in a review but this place was gorgeous absolutely everywhere you looked. Manicured and bursting with life. Zero trouble with bugs. In terms of experience and accommodation, Nayara Springs truly stands out as the best 10/10.

The entire experience from start to finish was five star and top-notch! The facilities were spectacular and the staff could not have been more helpful or attentive during our three generation family holiday trip. We enjoyed the food, the beautiful resort and its lovely amenities, and the Pura Vida attitude from every staff member on premises. We want to especially bring your attention to some of the staff that we found most especially kind and helpful. Unfortunately, we couldn’t remember everyone’s names but here are a few: Luis in the reception area Drivers - Jefferson, Juan Carlos, Spa masseuses at the Springs - Yolanda & Alejandra The Sommelier at the restaurant (Henry? - wine glass tattoo on his hand) Mis Amor - Juan Carlos, Jean Carlos Thank you for making our stay so delightful!

It was like living in paradise. The staff was warm and welcoming. Everyone was helpful. The accommodations were incredible. The rooms and grounds were like a big from a rainforest. I’d highly recommend this location to anyone.

My husband and I set out for a retirement celebration vacation and we got way more than expected. We chose Nayara Springs for an adults only experience that would allow us quiet relaxation from all the busy working world life we lived in for so many years. Here we had our own private villa with luxury amenities and accommodations. It was the staff that made this stay for us to be extremely hard for any other place to beat. It starts with Luis who met with us at the moment we arrived with a delicious welcome beverage and to go over our itinerary. Luis took care of our every whim from the moment we arrived to the day we left making sure every detail of our tours, meals, resort experiences, and itinerary was kept on track. He made us feel most welcomed. The bell hop service and cart drivers were next, they remembered our names, picked us up, dropped us off making sure to get us where ever we needed to go on the resort. One gave us a private tour showing us the gardens, pools, wildlife and more. They were all polite and courteous. Housekeeping staff kept our villa stocked and clean. Never once did we need to call for anything. Morning, afternoon and evening our villa was taken care of for us to come back to as it was the first day we arrived. I must mention the free laundry service available every day. A service that is not available for free anywhere else we have been. Who likes unpacking their luggage with dirty clothes? No one that I know, especially me. What an awesome service to provide! Our villa with the private plunge pool, oversized bathroom, inside and outside showers, huge bed with inside and outside seating areas all surrounded by tropical vegetation made our vacation the escape we were looking for. Restaurants on the property were amazing, clean beautiful, quiet, romantic, and the food is outstanding. Our favorite was the La Terraza, its local cuisine, cooking class, live music in the evening was perfect. All the restaurants provided for our dietary wants and needs and the servers all wanted to ensue we were completely satisfied, full and happy. Definitely choose a different restaurant each night as they all have something amazing to offer whether it be meal choices, entertainment or the beautiful views. The coffee shop on the property with authentic origin coffee and precious and knowledgeable baristas is always a plus in my book. There you can attend a tasting class and learn so much about coffee. Take the cooking class, it is truly a good time and you will learn and appreciate the food you get to make, I am going to the grocery store this week to pick up what I need to re-experience the time we had with Ignacio and Naidelyn. We would love to note every name of every person we met but would feel bad if we accidentally let someone out, just know that everyone you come into contact with, will make your experience at Nayara Springs memorable.
